The Zoo...in Michigan...in January?!

One Saturday in January we wanted to get out of the house and do something with the kids. Kyle and I had thought that the Children's Museum would be a good (indoor) option, but Ashlyn had her heart set on going to the zoo. We tried to talk her out of it since it was freezing outside (that whole January in Michigan thing), but there was no changing her mind! So...off to the zoo we went. And that crazy girl would NOT wear an actual coat...just a vest. {sigh} Luckily there were enough indoor exhibits to give us chances to warm up.

Checking out the ducks

There were a few of these signs around ;)

How cute are these little guys?!

"The Wave" is always a crowd favorite!


These little frogs were amazing!

For someone who doesn't even like dogs, Ashlyn sure was getting chummy with the goats and sheep!


Ashlyn was so excited to see "Simba" and "Kiara" (Simba's daughter in Lion King II)

Looks like fun! :) I want Ashlyn's hair. It is so pretty. Mac looks cute all wrapped up in the stroller too. :)
